Why Trump's backtrack on the Tik-Tok ban is deadly to democracy.

Donald Trump's flip-flop yesterday on Tik-Tok shows how corrupt and sold out he and the rest of the

GOP have become.

With Tik-Toc he is bowing to President Gee.

With Ukraine, he's bowing to President Putin.

And in both cases, he and the GOP are bowing to big money.

Reagan's Republican Party was committed to making the world safe for democracy.

Today, the only force arguing for actual democracy in the United States and overseas is the Democratic Party.

How did it come to this?

It shouldn't surprise anybody that Donald Trump is for sale.

What's shocking though is that the Republican Party, once America's proud bastion of anti-authoritarianism,

see Cuba, Venezuela, East Germany, the USSR, is now also fully for sale to the highest dictatorial bidder.

The most recent case in Pointis Tic-Toc, widely acknowledge, excuse me, as part of a worldwide

influence operation loyal to Chinese communist dictator, gee.

Last week the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted unanimously 50 to zero

to require Tik-Toc's Chinese government-affiliated owner,

and bite dance, to sell the social media company

to an entity not beholden to the Chinese Communist Party

if they want to continue to have the app available in the U.S.

For American users of Tik-Dock, the only difference would be that posts criticizing China

would no longer be suppressed by the algorithm.

Pets and friends and everything else would stay the same.
